Our second day was spent at California Adventure Park!
 |
| Look out California Adventure Park, here we come! |
We moseyed around a bit, checking things out...
 |
| Hey, look! Rocks. Nothing gets by these two. Walt Disney himself would have to be happy that our boys didn't miss any of the details that make this such a magic place! |
When we spotted the carousel and decided to give it a spin.
 |
| "Look over there dad! Is that Woody from Toy Story?" |
 |
| Jason wanted to ride on the dolphin! |
 |
| He tried to choke me when the ride started. lol. |
 |
| Holding on for dear life! |
Our next stop was Cars Land!
 |
| Shawn wanted to stop and have a taste of some organic fuel at Filmore's. |
 |
| We got some gas at Flo's. (and we finally figured out why Shawn kept saying, "Here's some tea for your gas."--Tulsa Tea!) |
 |
| Gassing up for some more adventures! |
And Lightning, himself!
 |
| Ka chow! |
From Radiator Springs, we found ourselves wandering into the garden of A Bugs Life.
 |
| Daddy, Shawn, and Jason bugs under the hose. |
 |
| Waiting in line... |
 |
| so Jason could drive a bumper car! |
Shawn and I found a photo op...
 |
| Sweet boy was telling me he loved me. |
Then we went back to Cars Land. You know, because you can never get enough of Cars Land when you're 4. lol
 |
| Classic Radiator Springs! |
While we were there, we got to see Mater!
 |
| "Well, I'llllll be!" |
 |
| Turn off those skylights! |
 |
| Out cold. |
 |
| Jason got in a little bit of balcony time before we headed back to Disneyland. For a kid who doesn't like heights, he seemed pretty relaxed for playing 7 floors up! |
Earlier in the day, Jason had decided he wanted to throw a rock into the pond. Disneyland was so clean, all the rocks Jason spotted were actually cemented into the landscape. So, on our way back from our hotel, Jason found two rocks to throw. He could hardly wait to get them in that water.
 |
| Dropping the rocks into the pond. He made sure to keep his rocks away from the ducks. "I don't want to hurt the ducks!" |
 |
| He's quite pleased with himself. |
 |
| They turned on their neon just for us! |
In a move that shocked both Isaac and myself, Jason decided he wanted to ride on the Cars ride. He wanted to race just like Lightning McQueen."
This wasn't a kiddie ride, though. The minimum height requirement was 40 inches, so by a mere 2.5 inches, Jason managed to make it on. (They even checked his height at one point!)
Plus, this ride was fast. I don't know if Jason truly appreciated that fact.
But he wanted to do it, so Isaac took him.
 |
| Waiting in line. Look at how excited he is! |
 |
| Just before the ride took off in a burst of speed. The ride up until this point consisted of the characters giving a tour of the town. Then Mater comes up and says, "There's Frank!" and the car takes off! |
 |
| Getting the tires changed at Luigi's before the big race! |
Shawn and I were outside waiting for them to go by. This is what it looked like while we waited.
 |
| Jason's car was about to zoom by on that track! |
 |
| This is a picture of them during the race. Jason's in the front, middle seat. He is clutching on to daddy's arm. |
When he got off, he wasn't quite sure what to do with the experience. He never cried or yelled, but he was overwhelmed. It was too funny.
After he thought about it some, he wanted to go on it again!
 |
| That's a big liter! |
 |
| "I love the fireworks!" |
 |
| Shawn preferred to watch his fireworks from the safety of the inside of the hotel room and enjoy Plex's company. |
 |
| Modeling his new mouse ears hat! |
 |
| Snuggled in bed and laughing about the fun of the day. I think they now understand why they call this the "happiest place on earth!" |
We had a fantastic time and can't wait until we can go back again!
